The visitors to Dubai exceeded one million in October and DXB reached the “important milestone of one million passengers per week in November, with origin-destination passengers reaching 94 per cent of pre-pandemic levels.”
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, said, “Reaching the point where 100 per cent of our facilities are now open and serving customers, plus the huge resurgence in passengers arriving into Dubai marks an important milestone for the aviation sector as well as for the city of Dubai and its economic growth. We took early steps to implement best-in-class hygiene and health protocols, fast track PCR testing facilities, and enhanced customer service and guest support resources to ensure the comfort, convenience and safety of travelers – and this has resulted in a strong recovery towards pre-pandemic levels of passengers.” (AW)
